about

I'm a student at the University of Houston, and a software developer at R1Soft, Inc. My primary interests are in Functional Programming languages like Haskell and ML and their real world application. I've more recently been getting interested in Factor/Clojure, the Cell Broadband Engine, as well as computer security. For the record, my full name is James Austin Seipp, but just Austin is preferred, thank you. You can contact me using the information on the bottom right of every page.
